A summer night kayaking tour. A great experience!
Gabriel is so charming as a person that it makes the experience very unique. We could not have wished for anything more. (Well okay, more time to float in this bubble, so next year I'll book a whole weekend for this ❤️) My heart is truly moved. A wonderful experience!

What a great sunny weekend behind us! Kayak tour in calm weather, small waves and some bigger waves as well. Paddling in incredibly clear water. What a great start for a holiday! Thank you Paddling Academy and Moving Heart!

Sea kayaking weekend tour

A couple of days of very different landscapes, emotions, winds and conditions and a night on a desert island. Gabriel guided our group with his diamond-like professionalism and sunny attitude to enjoy the relaxing bays and also to challenge themselves safely. I can warmly recommend!!

How can anyone make learning anything new so enjoyable and at the same time very well informed, achieving both a focused and relaxed mind in just the right way. Such was the case with the kayaking course led by Gabriel in July 2024. Perhaps the best two days of my summer holiday!

Basic course in sea kayaking

We had such an amazing time on our trip thanks to Gabriel and the Paddling Academy! We travelled from the US for this trip so we could not bring our own paddling gear but Gabriel provided everything we needed. The gear was high-quality and in impeccable condition. Gabriel was also incredibly helpful in planning an alternate route when the winds prevented us from paddling our planned route. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend Gabriel and Paddling Academy to anyone!

Overall, the course was well designed and structured. The trainers were professional and motivating. The initial nervousness quickly disappeared because you could fully trust the instructors, you felt safe during the whole course. After the course I felt that I had to go paddling immediately. Strong recommendation for this course!

We had an amazing trip! We did a big loop and stayed at Berghamn overnight. Absolutely perfect conditions, and we were pretty much the only people out on the water. I can't believe how quiet it was.

Thank you so much!
